Actually, Edge WebView2 is a separate system component pushed out via Windows Update (can also be bundled with individual apps), and is independent of Edge the browser.

So you can actually uninstall Edge the browser completely if you wanted to, and still keep using Webview.

Of course, it's a different story that Microsoft like to sneak it back in as part of an update or something.
